Khanna is a Commonwealth Professor of Physics at Virginia Commonwealth
University, having been a visiting associate professor at the
Northeastern University (1983-84) and a scientific collaborator at the
Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Switzerland (1980-1983). He is
a Fellow of the American Physical Society and has been twice the
recipient of the Distinguished Scholar Award of the College of
Humanities and Sciences at VCU. He is a member of the Advisory Board of
the Materials Science Forum from Trans Tech Publications and Journal of
Mathematics and Sciences: Collaborative Explorations. He has
co-authored more than 200 research publications in refereed journals,
has edited six monographs, and has chaired/co-chaired several
International Conferences. Dr. Khanna and his group are involved in
theoretical studies of the electronic structure, magnetic properties,
and catalytic properties of atomic clusters, cluster assemblies, and
nanoscale materials. In close collaboration with experimental groups at
PSU, they have proposed superatoms that extend the Periodic Chart to a
third dimension, and have succeeded in synthesizing numerous cluster
assembled solids, opening the pathway to novel materials with tunable
properties and potential for applications in numerous areas. |
